This is a 1493 Latin world chronicle, the Nuremberg Chronicle, compiled by physician Hartmann Schedel with woodcuts by Wilhelm Pleydenwurff and Michael Wolgemut, printed in Nuremberg for a scholarly and merchant readership. Its pages pair dense black-letter text with large panoramic city views, portraits and maps, so a designer can study early woodcut townscapes, architectural skylines and cartographic layouts.
